This post is going to be about our motivations for the move and what the replacement implementation looks like. This post is not a critique of NodeJS, Lambda, or the Serverless movement, but a word of caution about how pricey it can become if your service ends up going webscale™.

We are extremely pleased to announce that the preview release of the Red Hat OpenShift extension for Visual Studio Code is now available. You can download the OpenShift Connector extension from the marketplace or install it directly from the extension gallery in Visual Studio Code.

One of my favorite Amazon Leadership Principles is Customer Obsession. When we launched AWS Lambda, we focused on giving developers a secure serverless experience so that they could avoid managing infrastructure.

Cron is nice and all, but don’t forget about its cousin at. When I first started using Linux, it was like being tossed into the deep end of the UNIX pool. You were expected to use the command line heavily along with all the standard utilities and services that came with your distribution.

eksctl is a simple CLI tool for creating clusters on EKS - Amazon’s new managed Kubernetes service for EC2. It is written in Go, and based on Amazon’s official CloudFormation templates. You can create a cluster in minutes with just one command – eksctl create cluster!

Getafix has helped us advance toward our goal of letting computers take care of routine bug-fixing work. As we continue to refine our testing and verification tools, we expect Getafix will be able to prevent a larger portion of postdeployment failures.

IBM was the 4th public cloud if you leave the Chinese market dominated by Alibaba out of the picture. IBM Cloud was losing ground to the top 3 public clouds. They decided to acquired RedHat for 31% of their market cap. This was a big bet on a hybrid and multi-cloud future.

There are a lot of computer science graduates and programmers applying for programming, coding, and software development roles at startups like Uber and Netflix; big organizations like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google; and service-based companies like Infosys or Luxsoft, but many of them have no idea o

Hugo 0.43 added the ability to execute a resource as a Go template, meaning template variables can now be used to modify stylesheets. With the addition of Hugo Pipes comes default support for SASS/SCSS.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster is one thing, keeping it secure is a continuous uphill struggle. However, with the introduction of new features to Kubernetes it is becoming much easier to do both. Kubernetes (as of version 1.

As like as image being template for an instance, enterprise application is also templatized on OpenPitrix. The application template is much more complicated than image in that it could contain many more images and defines the whole lifecycle of an application cluster.

Note: a video version of this content is available at the bottom. Git has become the de-facto standard for code versioning, but its popularity didn’t remove the complexity of performing deep analyses of the history and contents of source code repositories.

Over the last few years, I have had the privilege of sharing insights and tutorials on decoupled Drupal, which was originally unknown territory with shifting sands but today is a widely adopted approach, including by some of Acquia’s most influential customers.

When breaking monoliths into smaller services, the hardest part is actually breaking up the data that lives in the database of the monolith. To extract a such a service, it is useful to follow a series of steps which retain a single write-copy of the data at all times.
